Motorcycles & Scooters

Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also not easy to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we have. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without troubles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Owing to some useful advice you could prevent any scratches, and dents that could happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are shipping the motorbike using a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 belts. It is crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook will not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or items that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing to be considered is the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the van and other objects that might be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can help you transport your motorbike not occupying the entire space in the car.

It is important to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to ship your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your scooter and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
